On Friday, ESPN's Todd McShay called the former Alabama guard one of the best players, regardless of position, in this year's draft.

On a conference call with reporters Monday, Mike Mayock took it one step further. The NFL Network analyst suggested that Warmack should be one of four players considered by the Kansas City Chiefs, who hold the draft's No. 1 overall pick.

“Chance Warmack is the best player I’ve seen on film this season,” Mayock said.

STRENGTHS: Warmack is considerably lighter on his feet than one would expect given his stout frame, and is adept at meeting and eliminating linebackers at the second level.
In pass protection, Warmack does a nice job of supplying an initial punch and grasping hold of his opponent, showing good lateral agility to slide as well as the anchor to handle powerful bull-rushers.

Warmack is equally effective when asked to drive defensive tackles off the ball or beat linebackers to the action at the second level.

WEAKNESSES: Due to his lack of height, Warmack may lack the position versatility of his more recognizable linemates Barrett Jones and D.J. Fluker, but he is further along in his development than Fluker and, frankly, makes more eye-popping blocks than Jones. Size means that he'll be relegated strictly to interior blocking in the NFL.

COMPARES TO: Will Shields, OG, Kansas City Chiefs -- Let's be clear, no incoming rookie truly deserves comparison to a first ballot Hall of Famer, but Warmack is a rare prospect. While perhaps a tad shorter than ideal, Warmack uses his natural leverage advantage to consistently get under the pads of his opponents, driving them off of the ball in the running game and anchoring in pass protection. His lateral agility and balance make him effective getting to and blocking at the second level and handling quicker pass rushers, as well.

He has a long way to go before threatening Shields' record of 231 consecutive starts in the NFL, but proved durable in the SEC, starting every game the past three seasons.

Allen was named to the all rookie team last year and was actually one if the top 15 guards in the last 8 games. Stephenson was rated the 23rd tackle and he only played in a few games. We need a game changer and a sub par tackle in joeckel isnt going to do us shit.
